    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. At the outset, I want to say that I was very happy about the issue of the formation of the Board. I know that the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing did a lot of work. That is because there was hurry on the issue of the classification of roads and also formation of the Board to streamline the problem we had with the county governments on the issue of roads. There was a problem on which roads are supposed to be taken care of by the governors and which ones are supposed to be taken care of by the national Government. I know there is an institution called the “Institution of Surveyors of Kenya (ISK)” which has been agitating to join the Board. If you go to most of these big towns, the estate agency business is one of the major areas that people engage in on a daily basis. That is because of the residential areas. For a long time, ISK has felt left out in the composition of these boards. So, I am very happy to note various institutions have been included in the composition of the boards, including the Architectural Association of Kenya and the Engineers Board. All of them are well represented in the boards. However, we need to go back and look critically because there are other associations that have been classified there that are not properly defined. I am very sure that when we form these boards, we will ensure that the people who are included will add value."
